If you’re a Nordea customer, you might have noticed that Garmin Pay isn’t directly supported by Nordea. For fitness enthusiasts and smartwatch users who want to make payments with their Nordea card on the go, this limitation can be frustrating. However, there’s an easy solution: Curve. By adding your Nordea card to Curve, you’ll be able to use it with Garmin Pay seamlessly.

What is Curve, and How Does It Work?

Curve is a digital wallet that brings all your cards together in one app and one physical card. It’s not a bank itself, but it connects to your existing bank accounts, allowing you to manage and use all your cards from one place. With Curve, you can turn any of your bank cards, including Nordea, into a Garmin Pay-compatible card, expanding your payment options.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Nordea with Garmin Pay Through Curve

  1. Download the Curve App
    Start by downloading the Curve app, which is available for free on both iOS and Android devices. Once you open the app, sign up by providing your details and setting up an account.

  2. Add Your Nordea Card to Curve
    Once your Curve account is set up, you’ll be prompted to link your bank cards. To add your Nordea card, simply enter your card details into the app. Curve will create a unique card number, expiry date, and security code (CVC), allowing it to act as a proxy for your Nordea card in Garmin Pay.

  3. Link Curve to Garmin Pay
    Now, open the Garmin Connect app on your smartphone and select the Garmin Pay option. Choose “Add Card” and input the Curve card details generated by the Curve app. This will link your Nordea card to Garmin Pay via Curve.

  4. Select Nordea as Your Payment Card in Curve
    In the Curve app, select your Nordea card as the active payment card whenever you want to use Garmin Pay. This way, when you make payments through Garmin Pay, Curve will charge your Nordea card.

Additional Benefits of Using Curve with Nordea and Garmin Pay

Curve offers more than just Garmin Pay compatibility for Nordea customers. New Curve users can earn up to €15 cashback within their first 30 days, with 1% cashback on all Garmin Pay purchases. Additionally, Curve provides cashback from select retailers when you upgrade to a premium plan, giving you extra value for every purchase.

Another major advantage of Curve is its foreign transaction fee elimination. Using your Nordea card abroad may typically incur fees, but when you pay with Curve, those charges disappear. Whether you’re paying in EUR, USD, or any other currency, Curve ensures a seamless payment experience abroad with no extra costs.
